1t is wrong for a woman to make a

s. H. Babcock, contracting agent Of

at Salt Lake City. has been spending 4
day or two in Reno on business. He
thinks Nevada will soon have another
railroad. He says that President Pal
mer, of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad, is now in London for the pur-
pose of raising funds with which to ex-
tend that road from Green River, in
Central Eastern Utah, to Santa Cruz, .
distance Of about 800 miles. He thinks
it is understood between the managers
Of this road and Senator Fair. that when
ever they wish it, and at price agreed
upon. the former may have the South
Pacific Coast Road, extending from Oak
land to Santa Cruz. The proposed ex-
tension will be through Lincoln and Nye
counties, passing through Phoebe. The
construction of this road will probably
be commenced within the next few
months, and when completed there will
be an inducement to miners and specu-
lators to open up and develop what are
believed to be some of the richest mining
sections found anywhere on the Pacific

it was thought that she had consumption The
treatment by physicians failed to give relief.
In December, 1884, a node or knot the size of a

formed under her arm and three on the back
which discharged matter for a considerable

confined to the house, and most of the time in

deal of medicine, but failed TO be cured. I

RELIEF COMMITTEE,

The committee Of relief for the drouth
sufferers OF this section Of Texas had
their meeting, as announced In yester-
days issue, and organized. Having no
association back Of them other than the
citizens, their reports will be made d.
rect to the citizens through the columns
Of the daily paper. Their first work has
been to issue their circular for informa-
tion concerning the extent and nature OF
the suffering In the region lying west
and south Of us. that the relief may be
intelligently applied. This circular will
be sent direct to county officials and well
known citizens, clergymen and others,
In the region Indicated, and the infor-
nation TO be ELECTED Is upon the follow
ing points: First-Do you know Of any
cases OF restitution and distress in your
immediate vicinity? Second-Please
furnish full particulars, stating name,
occupation, habits, general standing in
the community. These interrogatories
are brief, pointed, easily understood,
and cannot fail to elicit the information
sought. The committee have gone to
work in a simple, direct, business-like
manner. Their names, as was stated
yesterday, are an ample guarantee for
the proper discharge OF the burdensOme

NOT UP TO TIME.

The public meeting called in the inter
est OF the drouth sufferers on last Satur-
day night was fairly representative OF
one Of our habits OF doing business.
That call was signed by forty-six bust
ness men OF this city, and Ii was stated,
no doubt truly, that many more sigma
lures would have been obtained had
there been time to secure them. The
business men who signed that call made
themselves responsible for that meeting.
Ii was their appeal to their fellow citi-
Zens In general to come to the court
house and consult with them in refer
ence to the suffering known to exist In
the county. 1t twas In fact a personal
Invitation, under the formality OF a
signed card, inviting their fellow towns
men who were as much interested in
the relief of the drOuth sufferers as they
were to meet them at the court house
and devise some way Of relieving the
distress. known to exist to such All
alarming extent. The appointment was
theirs, the time and place Of meeting
was OF their designation, and yet not
twenty per cent OF those who signed
that call were present. III such a course
was taken In social matters every man
who so treated his fellow would find his
acquaintance cut or himself sharply
called upon to render an account Of his
failure to meet an appointment he had
deliberately made. 1t would be the same
thing In business. The man who treated
his business engagements in that way
would soon find no one who would make
an appointment with him and fewer
still who would keep them. The result
of this thing is already seen in this city.
You cannot get meeting of the citi-
zens together upon call for any purpose.
The few who would naturally heed
that call have come together SO often
and found no persons present to trans
act the business for which the call is
sued, that they have grown discouraged
and no longer attend. The remedy for
luls 10 W CCuEC tdllc lOl
public meetings, unless the signers in
tend to be present. II places man 10
very awkward position, and as unfair as
awkward, to attend meeting to which
he has been invited by the published
card Of fifty reputable citizens and upon
whose Invitation alone he has come, and
find forty-five out of the fifty cOnspicu-
Ously absent. The rule here seems to
be to have one set of gentlemen sign the
call and then leave the business to who
ever may chance to be present. That
there were enough present on Saturday
night to commence the needed work of
organizing relief was not by virtue of
the attendance of those who signed the
call for that meeting.
